Surf v0.15.3
0.15.3 - 2026-08-31
Smooth system-rendered video and correct classic icon artwork on iOS 6 and 7.
- Brought the fast video path to iOS 6 and 7. Surf hands compressed H.264
video to the operating system instead of decoding and drawing every frame in
the app. High-motion pages can now remain sharp and reach the requested frame
rate instead of becoming blurry and settling around 30–40 FPS. - Kept video moving through keyboard transitions. Opening or closing the
keyboard no longer stalls the stream. Surf can recover from temporary display
pressure and automatically falls back to the older renderer on devices that
cannot use the direct path reliably. - Fixed an iOS 6 crash when tapping the address bar and opening the keyboard.
- Restored the intended app icon on every supported system. iOS 6 receives
the rounded classic icon with the plane extending beyond its tile; iOS 7 and
later receive full-bleed artwork designed for the system's own icon mask.
Installation refreshes the correct artwork automatically.
Native iOS and unified Linux, Windows, and macOS packages are attached. Launch surf for the desktop app or run surf serve under a service manager for a headless backend.
